Police are investigating at least five crime scenes around the town, Johnston said.

A local resident told KNVN his truck had been stolen and his roommate was injured.

“The crazy thing is that the neighbor has been shooting a lot of bullets lately, hundreds of rounds, large magazines,” said the man, identified by the Redding Record Searchlight as Brian Flint. “We made it aware that this guy is crazy and he’s been threatening us.”
